Rescued

RESCUED

We were sin king in quicksand
Jesus came and reached down His hand
He rescued us that day
He set our feet on a new way

He rescued us from the quicksand of sin
He gives us peace and joy within
In His love we will stay
His word we will obey

Rescued to return no more 
We are headed for Heavens' Shore
Rescued to live with Him above
We live today because of His great love.
